Create a Tabbed Story Map Journal

VincentVarricchio — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 16:11:10 GMT

I would like to make a Story Map similar to this one: http://arcg.is/1LFL0zB The Map Series Tabbed Story Map template does not have an option that lets you create separate "sections" as you scroll down on each tab. And the Story Map Journal template does not seem to let you create separate tabs. How would I accomplish this? Any info is appreciated, thanks!

Hi Vincent,

The example you found has Map Journals embedded in a Map Series. Check out this blog post to see how to do this.

I will caution you, however, to be mindful of the experience you are building for your audience when you use this technique. Sometimes combining too many different types of apps can get confusing for your readers.

See this example:
http://wsdot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=86e69fd5ac1345fe84b12c2b0f4f170e

It's a Tabbed Map Series and each tab contains an embedded Side Accordion Map Series using the Stretch option so it fills the display. It gives quite a seamless look and can handle a lot of data. The side accordions actually include embedded Story Map Spyglass apps too!
